Spinal Fusion

cervical-x-ray-sideview-neck Spinal FusionSpinal fusion is where two or more vertebrae are permanently joined, preventing movement between those segments of the spine. This can be advantageous if instability is what caused the back pain, but it does make life more difficult. After surgery, instruction will be given on how to sit, stand, walk, and move in a way that keeps the spine aligned.
